Camera Lucida

NaAC at the Seoul Performing Arts Festival

Camera Lucida is an innovative dance performance that will explore complex themes of community and identity. Thematically, Camera Lucida delves into the richness of human diversity, challenging traditional notions of community and identity. It celebrates each performer as a universe unto themselves, exploring the profound connections that transcend perceived differences. The performance invites audiences to contemplate how the theater can be a space for shared understanding and appreciation of diversity.

This project represents a significant step forward in our mission to challenge perceptions and foster inclusivity within the arts. The project is a collaboration between the NaAC Dance Ensemble, Project YYIN, and Connected A, representing a pioneering approach to disability-centered creation.

NaAC Dance Ensemble

Representing the NaAC Dance Ensemble are four talented dancers and choreographers with diverse lived experiences of disability. Each member brings a unique perspective and skill set, contributing to the ensemble’s vibrant identity. Together, the ensemble members – James Silcock, Meg Ohsada, Dommix Round, and Alicia Morrison – continue to inspire audiences and challenge societal norms through their performances, workshops, and outreach efforts.

Project YYIN

Project YYIN is an artist collective between Sinae Rha and Kisub Choi based in Seoul, South Korea. From the idea that the possibility of contemporary choreography might exist in and as its (im)possibility, they have been exploring the dissensus between choreography – the written, certain, closed and complete – and dance – the bodily, uncertain, gaping and imperfect.

Connected A

Connected A works as a task force to arts institutions and artists around the world to connect, expand and strengthen their growth, providing performing arts planning & production management, IR management, research and education. The company’s current primary focus is on researching, developing, and presenting diverse and inclusive practices, both locally and internationally, with the aim of expanding the arts ecosystem to ensure an inclusive future for the arts.

Camera Lucida will premiere at the Seoul Performing Arts Festival (SPAF) on October 26-27, 2024.
